[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 802540, member: 2653"] I thought on this one for a while, AIT. The short answer is no. The pipe is round and only comes up a couple of feet off the ground. The cows can still reach the hay even if they stand at the front of the pipe. Or they could walk to any of the other three sides and eat. I spent a lot of time grinding edges and making sure nothing was exposed that could injure a cow or calf. I just went out tonight and there is more hay under the rings - on the ground - not excessive, but more. The calves were all laying under the feeder. It looks like I'll need to put a wire panel, as Boogie suggested, over the rings to stop some of the hay from falling through. Even though, it still seems pretty good, overall, but time will tell. Like I said I'll leave it in the same place for 2 weeks and then take more pics for everyone to see. It's supposed to rain tonight, so I'm sure it'll get trampled up all around the feeder. [/QUOTE]
